hi,
i recently rescued this saw from my town's metal pile. did a lot of cleaning, etc. would not start using standard method (more about that). i took the plug out, put in a little gas, started up in two pulls.
decided to check out the carb. fuel tank line looked a little brown and brittle. decided to put in a new tank line/filter, an also a line on the bulb that leads to the left side of the carb (that line is wider in diameter than the fuel tank line). i left alone the line that went from the primer back into the tank (return line).
after this, i pumped the bulb, got no gas in the bulb. i new there was trouble with the gas tank cap, so i ordered an OE fuel and oil cap so i would have a good seal on both. after they arrived, i installed, pumped the bulb, dry. i think when i originally tried starting its up, pumping the bulb also left it dry, so no fuel was entering the carb.
i re-lined the way it was when i found it, but maybe i have the lines screwed up. here are a couple of pics of the saw, and new carb lines. looking forward to getting this right. any help is appreciated.
